CNC Bikes - Ciclone Beginner Frame

CNC Bikes from Brazil came up with a beginner frame. It's called Ciclone and comes with a 17" or 18.5" top tube. As far as we can tell it's the second CNC Bikes product. We posted their plastic pegs here a while ago.

The frame looks simple and weighs 2110g = 4.65lbs (the 18.5" version is a tad heavier). It comes with US BB so you can fit a one-piece-crank which will save beginners some money.

We posted more photos and specs in parts section: CNC Bikes - Ciclone
If you're interested in buying one of them then you should contact Minoro BMX on Facebook.

Germany: Battle in da Mansion on July 20

After two successful international BMX Flatland Contests (under the name Wittenberger Flatland Ball in 2005 and 2010) Flatland will return to Wittenberg for a third round of action! New name, new location! This year the contest is moving out of the skatehall into a building with a colorful past. The „Schweizer Garten“ (Swiss Garden) was built around 1900 as a dancing-hall. During the following century it was used for pretty much everything – from warehouse to women’s refuge. A few years ago tattoo artist Danny Zimmermann bought the building and is renovating it in order to restore it’s original purpose as an event location.

For the contest a 200 sqm wood floor will be installed on the the former dance floor to provide perfect conditions for the flatland riders. A sound and lighting system will bring back the original flair of the building.
If the weather will allow if then everyone is welcome to enjoy the barbeque, chilled atmosphere and a cold drink outside.

The date is July 20 and therefore 1 week after the BMX Worlds in Cologne. All international guests who would like to stay a bit longer in Germany after the Worlds are more than welcome. The contest will have an amateur and a pro class.

China: Far East Cycles Flatland Frame

Far East Cycles (FEC) is a Chinese bike company. They designed a flatland frame together with Jean William Prevost aka Dub who shared the photos with us so we guess it can be called his signature frame. In the specs we found some 'interesting' things like the CN BB which must the Chinese version of a Euro or Spanish BB. We assume it's compatible with one the two. Furthermore the frame has an integrated seat clamp and some little details like a CNC machined FEC logo. Below are the specs:

Top Tube: 19"
Chain Stay: 12.65" and 13"
Head Angle: 74°
Seat Angle: 69°
Weight: 1950g

You'll find some more details and photos in the parts section: FEC - Dub Frame.
